The dual-earner dad penalty in salary progression
Article Abstract:
Pfeffer and Ross (1992) explained that there are four theoretical explanations for the gap in salaries between dual-earner and traditional male managers. According to these two, such difference could be the result of human capital, conformance to social expectations, distributive justice and the wife-as-a-resource syndrome. Data were gathered from a sample of 348 male managers who were married and who had children living at home who are under 18 years old. Results showed that dual-earner managers' salaries, including bonuses, increased by 59% in a span of five years, as compared to the 70% enjoyed by traditional male managers. Distributive justice and stay-at-home-wife-as-resource explanation were found to be behind this gap. However, the human capital theory and conformance were not proven.

Willingness to relocate internationally
Article Abstract:
The willingness of American managers to accept international assignments is examined. The study involves a sample of 405 managers and their spouses from 20 Fortune 500 international corporations. Two variables that influence the managers' readiness to relocate internationally are identified. These are their spouses' attitudes about relocation and their own attitudes about relocating in general and relocating domestically. These results suggest the need for multinational companies to develop human resources policies that consider the managers' spouses. Findings also indicate that these firms can enhance their ability to find the right managers for their international operations by keeping track of their managers' intentions to relocate.
